Your Questions Answered! Q&A Anti-Aging, YouTube, Back Sleeping

This is a great video, you really do research and you know what you are talking about…but, regarding vitamin C, I saw a dermatologist for my son ‘ s acne when I was in France , and I asked him about vitamin C, and his opinion is that it isn’t good for the skin, especially aging skin..I didn’t have time to understand exactly why, but I did some research, and lots of skin care gurus just don’t recommend it for aging skins…I know that my skin at 56 doesn’t like vitamin C, it irritates it..so I stopped using it,,
I wonder what you think of it !?
Take good care

Thanks so much for this great video! You have inspired me to try back sleeping again. I just wonder how you sleep on your back when you are traveling (and not driving)? How do you manage without a sleep wedge?

  I hoard all the pillows to build a wedge & if there aren’t any extra pillows I use my clothes or folded blankets…. I’m very resourceful! 🙂

I love your unbiased reviews of products, and your videos for makeup and hair have helped so much for gorgeous looks that are appropriate for our age. Just a note regarding the Nuface question on water vs the Nuface gel. You mentioned a target gel with fumes.. I think after using my Nuface sample I immediately purchased ultrasonic/electrode gel on amazon. Zero scent, zero fumes. IF I wanted to leave the Nuface gel on that would be one thing .. But I wipe it off so happy to save money on that. Also hearing that the Skinceutucals C&E serum has had their patent expire and that Timeless and a few others have the same ph now fantastic news! Thank you for choosing that question!!

Angie,
Just a quick question. Can you mix the CoQ10 and the CEFerulic before you apply to face?

  Hi Cynthia~ You can not mix CEFerulic serum with anything as it’s pH dependant in order for it to absorb and work in your skin. If you want to save steps you can mix the CoQ10 with another peptide serum or your moisturizer. xo ~angie

Hi I’m a big fan of tarte shadow and that palette looks fantastic, would love to know if it really is still available. I’m trying to learn to do my shadow better and your videos are a great help. Interested to know how you learnt your techniques, trial and error or a class?

Thanks for all your honestly and opinions, so much better to watch than “fake” type videos that don’t feel like they come from trying to really help viewers as the focus.

  Hi Connie~ Yes, the Tarte Make Magic Happen palette is still available & still one of my faves! I’m pretty much self taught where makeup is concerned so mainly trial & error and lots of practice! xo ~angie

Thanks very much for the video portion showing the back sleeping. I’m still much lower than you but I did find get help by buying the wedge and buying pillows for those that sleep on their back. If you turn to side sleep with the back sleeping pillows they smother you! LOL.

Right now I’m just using one pillow on the wedge, don’t have my torso as high on the wedge and use a firm, big pillow on either side of me so I can’t turn easily. Doing the number 4 position has been the most helpful, also using a pillow wedged under my left knee which likes to be a little elevated. People might want to try a roll pillow under the knees if your knees don’t like to be flat, straight out.

Thanks so much for the videos!

I have a question – In your research, have you come across any info on which anti-aging skin care things are ok to use during pregnancy? (By the way, I’m in my 30s but have been watching your videos for years, because I love your science based approach.) I am thinking about getting pregnant soon, and I know I’ll have to stop the retin a, but was wondering about everything else. Also, anything I should be using to prevent stretch marks? Just thought it could be a good video, because I think there are a lot of younger women besides me who watch your stuff.

Thank you for sharing so much about you and how you got started. Always enjoying watching your videos. My skin care routine has completely changed since I started following your channel. I follow your morning and pm routine and my face has been very happy. I have never gotten any face treatments and I am now considering getting Botox. My problem is more the sun/age spots rather than wrinkles. What procedure do you find is most effective for lightening those areas?
Thank you

I know you just answered a bunch but I have a question to add to your pile: How do you keep your tinted sunscreen and/or make up from staining your clothing? I let my tinted mineral sunscreen dry down before I get dressed but then I go outside and sweat and it’s all over. (Not to mention, running in my eyes. ). I have a white collared shirt that I can’t get the stains out no matter what I do. Of course, 1st world problems here, but it’s frustrating to have to choose between one’s clothing or one’s skin (and eyes)! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Debra

  Hi Debra~ I wish I had the solution for you, but sadly I don’t… I think the only solution is to use non-tinted sunscreen (my current fave is Make P:rem UV Defense Me Blu Ray Fluid) xo ~angie

Hi Angie,

Love, Love your channel! I occasionally watch other women’s channels, but find your channel the most professional, well researched, honest and funny. I look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays. The question is…is there a special “dictionary” online or website that has the definition to the ingredients in cosmetics, anti aging products, etc…? At the young age of
58 I find myself really interested in knowing what I am putting in an on my face and body. Any information you can give me will be helpful.
Thank you so much for helping us “young” women get a handle on aging gracefully! You are a jewel.

Hi,
Does the Chanel foundation you use have much coverage? I have hyperpigmented areas and a small scar on my face and just wondering if it would give adequate coverage.
Thanks

  The Chanel foundation provides medium coverage but you can build it up to full. I prefer the look of medium foundation over my entire face and then I add concealer in the areas where I need it. If you want full coverage foundation, I’d recommend Urban Decay All Nighter.

Thanks for the video Angie. I find you very sincere and knowledgeable. I have switched to many products as a result of your videos and very happy with the switch. I can’t wait for you to try out Spencer Barnes. I have started using it about 4 weeks ago and I can’t believe the results. Also I love your cats guest appearances. I love the way he jumped on the bed with you. Cracked me up! Keep up the great work.
Sincerely
Colleen G.

Thanks, Angie, for answering those questions! For some reason, I loved hearing about your former career–graphic artist–it makes so much sense. I look so forward to your new videos and have adopted several things from your morning and night routines. Thank you so much for the help with that.

Your progress with Retin-A inspired me to go back recently and look at pictures of me from 10 plus years ago to see if I have had similar results, since I have been using Retin-A on and off for over twenty years now. (My use was directly related to if and when I could get to Mexico, where I would buy a few tubes for practically nothing and resume using it in a sporadic sort of way. The tubes could last me a few years.) And guess what? I had hoods that have completely disappeared!! I had NO IDEA I had even developed hooded eyelids–I guess a crazy busy life and a good dose of “I reject reality when it stares back at me” played into it.

I admit that since 2013 (my last Mexico visit), I put a tiny bit of Retin-A directly on my upper lids and have never had any negative reaction to it. I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to, because everything was in Spanish! No harm, no foul here. The few up close pictures that exist of me (my hubby is not much for photography) from 2013 forward document a slow and similar change that your eyes have experienced. And since I found your channel last fall, I have upped my Retin-A usage to every single night and the results from even then to now are simply amazing, IM(not so)HO.

So, I’m not running to Mexico any longer, I’m using Curology and am loving it!! Once again–thanks to you. 🙂 Anywhoo, I wish I could shout from the highest mountaintop that Retin-A completely changed my eyes, making them look twenty years younger, but I don’t have an audience like you do. And, seriously, how do you bring it up to just anyone that you look great because of something you have been slathering on your face if they don’t ask?? I’m certain that my neighbor ladies would use their garden hoses on me if I brought it up. 😉 No one wants to be that person, so I just thought I would encourage you to keep shouting for us and sharing your amazing results. And just so you know, I had no other anti-aging routine other than staying out of the sun at all costs (seeking shade, wearing hats and long-sleeve coverups all the time) and sporadically using Retin-A until very recently. No moisturizers, no peptides, ceramides etc…, and only sticky, oily sunscreens when I knew I was going to be out in the sun. (I have done Botox, but that doesn’t help my upper eyelids. I am Botox free right now and my upper lids are still lifted and hood-less.)

Keep up the good work, Angie. Who knew that our fifties could be this nifty?
